A podcast about life. From Integrity to Nachos, by a wife, mom, former teacher and owner of Capital Chips. With special guests who share their recipes, experiences, and wisdom so that we can all live a life of integrity...with nachos!
Steve Harvey has said, "in all of life's adversity, you will find a lesson and a blessing. Pain will always leave you a gift." I heard his words after this episode was recorded, but it is so true and that is what we explore in this episode. How does life teach us? How can we pay attention? How do we share wisdom when our instinct as parents is to protect our kids from pain?

A look at the history of the monuments and racism in Richmond, VA and beyond. Please don't miss this important conversation with someone who understands broadly the role of our individual perspectives in the history we choose to elevate, but also in the context in which that story is told. Further, how that shapes how we move forward. These conversations are an important part of the change that is always happening as Vince so appropriately reminds us, "in order to form a more perfect union" clearly communicates that change is necessary to get the kind of country we were all promised and our framers aspired to in the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence.

In this second episode in our Justice for All Series, we discuss the experiences of refugees in the United States and around the world. We learn about Carrie's business Snail Mail and the various charitable organizations it supports with the current focus being International Neighbors. In our discussion, we reference Myths about Refugees and a resource for that can be found HERE, although we both encourage listeners to do the work of finding the answer to all of their questions through their own searches. Keep being good neighbors to one another. It matters. To follow Carrie and support the causes that she supports, connect with her today!

Join me in this first in the Justice for All; The View From Here episodes as Asst. Public Defender Abigail Thibeault shares her experiences as a public defender and explains how she came to decide this work was for her. We discuss racism, and racial inequalities in a justice system that as Abbey puts it, "feeds itself". At this moment when so many are screaming for long-overdue justice, it is powerful to sit with someone who is doing that work and feeling that frustration every day. Disclaimer: We don't solve the problem of racial inequality. We don't even come close, but these are the types of important and sometimes awkward and uncomfortable conversations that must be had in order to effect real systemic change in the minds and hearts in not only all of us but of those in power. We share our opinions and they are just that. Our intentions are purely for good and aimed at keeping the light shone on this topic that needs, demands, and deserves all of our attention. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/capital-chips/message
